lyrics

Hey you let's go to the show, there's a backdoor betty at a place I know. Hey you can you hear what I say? Cause you act like you do, but you look like you don't know. Hey you, let's go to the show there's a backdoor betty at a place I know. Pull out a little charm for the girl. When you do, how you do it reminds you the world is new. New to you.

....

We're walking down both sides of the road. Split rightdown the cross of our souls. But in time we'll have to choose where that goes. And let go of our old friend control. ANd just sing...

....

I'm letting go...
